U. S. Air Force study on teleportation

A study, called the "Teleportation Physics Study" (see external
link below), on the feasibility of exploiting the phenomenon of teleportation
for military purposes. It was carried out in 2004 by Eric Davis of Warp
Drive Metrics, Las Vegas. (Davis prepared an article Wormhole Induction
Propulsion" for the 1997 NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Workshop,
has been affiliated with the privately-funded National Institute for Discovery
Science, Las Vegas, and has been involved with UFO studies). According to
the introduction to the final report: "This study was tasked with the purpose
of collecting information describing the teleportation of material objects,
providing a description of teleportation as it occurs in physics, its theoretical
and experimental status, and a projection of potential applications. The
study also consisted of a search for teleportation phenomena occurring naturally
or under laboratory conditions that can be assembled into a model describing
the conditions required to accomplish the transfer of objects." The author
considered the following possible forms of teleportation:

Teleportation – SciFi: the disembodied transport of persons
or inanimate objects across space by advanced (futuristic) technological
means (adapted from Vaidman, 2001). We will call this sf-Teleportation,
which will not be considered further in this study. See transporter
(Star Trek).

Teleportation – psychic: the conveyance of persons or inanimate objects
by psychic means. We will call this p-Teleportation. See psychic
teleportation.

Teleportation – engineering the vacuum or spacetime metric: the conveyance
of persons or inanimate objects across space by altering the properties
of the spacetime vacuum, or by altering the spacetime metric (geometry).
We will call this vm-Teleportation.

Teleportation – quantum entanglement:
the disembodied transport of the quantum state of a system and its correlations
across space to another system, where system refers to any single or
collective particles of matter or energy such as baryons (protons, neutrons,
etc.), leptons (electrons, etc.), photons, atoms, ions, etc. We will
call this q-Teleportation. See quantum
teleportation.

Teleportation – exotic: the conveyance of persons or inanimate objects
by transport through extra space dimensions or parallel universes. We
will call this e-Teleportation.
